Windows 10 and future CPUs

Well.... i suppose they'll still make low end chips, but the chips they will still be making wont be good enough for games =\
I mean..... intel's pentium and celeron lines are still around, but they dont score anywhere near good enough to be viable for games, video and audio work.......

No, im afraid AMD and qualcomm are onboard as well:

Huh....... didn't know Linux was doing that as well, but i suppose its to a lesser extent...... right? For one, the distro devs probably arent as rich and couldnt afford to hire the data mining firms and storage like m$

There are some great I5/I7 chips out there that are perfect for gamers and they work fine with 10. And don't kid yourself.. all OS's now a days have some telemetry feature.
There are ways to disable the telemetry in 10 and there are some tutorial around the forums somewhere. I'll look around..

Well,., you have the facts as I understand them..
Make your own decisions accordingly..

It's going to be hard to reason with someone who refers to Windows 10 as spyware. It isn't and most of us are using it and enjoying a great OS.

True.. just pointing things out as I see them,, no more and no less. If someone really thinks that Linux is a good OS for gaming they need to do some more homework. It's not.

But heck.. he can knock himself out trying

my whole point was i dont WANT win 10

yeah, i know. there's also this spybot program designed to disable data collection every time the PC reboots too

With all due respect, why are you posting and seeking advice on a Windows 10 forum?

Troll?? Not saying but..

Hmmm _ I wouldn't say so. See, the other day I posted it a question on the Vista forum regarding Windows Calendar. Now I run the application on Windows 8, but the application is native to Vista, so I posted it there instead.

Likewise, the perceived forthcoming CPU limitations of Skylake and what not have a lot to do with the future of Windows 10, even though it affects the future use of the OPs chosen OS. So he posts the question here. You're original answer seemed to sum up what he was asking, but I don't that makes his behaviour troll-like, does it?

You could be right.. but he's worrying a bit early concerning something none of us know what really will be happening in 5 years time.,

Who really knows what processors will be available and if all of them in 5 years will only work with 10. I suspect that the mfg. will still have some available for previous OS's or for more affordable PC's that will run on other OS's than 10.

For my 2c.. it's simply the time to keep ones powder dry and wait to see what really happens.
